In the Delco-Remy case referred to above I understand the arrangement to be that of two contact breaker levers being operated alternately by the same three-part cam.

In regard to further tests, the present position is that we are running, (not being able so far to obtain from the Expl. Shop owing to pressure of other work some of the later modifications which have been instructed), some experiments lower down on the list in order of importance, two of which, viz, distributor removed and maximum capacity, are further experiments with flat tungsten points in place of domed points, on items upon which some experimenting has already been done, but upon which it is considered expedient to do further tests.

EFC.
